TESTS:
BMI
Body Mass Index has been used since the 1980s, BMI greatly improved weight information over standard height and weight tables.
Body Fat
Because BMI alone can't tell if you are carrying muscle or fat on your frame. The YMCA and Navy body fat tests are 97% accurate for most people.
12 Minute Run Test
Because you should be able to run far enough fast enough to save your life.
Just measure how far you can walk, jog or run in 12 minutes
Find out your VO2Max ( Used by cardiologists to measure heart fitness and the effect of your aerobic routine on your heart's fitness.)
Find out your maximum sustainable running speed based on your VO2Max
Find out how far you should be able to travel in 12 minutes
(Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.)
Pushups and Situps Strength Test
Used by every military force to test overall strength fitness. Measure your core and upper body strength.
Modified Reach Test
Used since the 1950s to test flexibility. Good flexibility reduces injuries and improves mobility. More importantly, flexibility outside is a very good indication of artery flexibility.
